20-Oct-2009 – On our third day in Belarus we wanted to explore the north-west of the country with a hired car. But of course at first visiting 54ºN 28ºE in the vicinity of Minsk was on our agenda. So we left the city onto M2 road to the east and about 1 km after the side road to Skurati we turned right onto a small and sandy road downhill. After following that street for about 1.5 km to the south we turned right again into a colourful village, where we reached a large sabulous junction. Here, according to the GPS receiver, we turned left, crossed two railroad tracks and reached an asphalted road in 220 m beeline from the CP. We parked our car at the branch and started to walk the rest of the way. For the last 70 m we had to leave the street and walk across a meadow and a small grove until we reached 54ºN 28ºE at the edge of a field. After taking the photos we headed north-west for about 150 km to the small village Tupishki, where we visited an original station point of the Struve Geodetic Arc.
